Oral pharmacotherapies to treat overactive bladder (OAB) are used less in men despite a similar prevalence of storage symptoms as women. The efficacy and safety of once-daily mirabegron 50 mg was evaluated in male OAB patients from five phase III studies that included placebo or antimuscarinic (tolterodine ER 4 mg or solifenacin 5 mg) as a comparator.
Three pooled 12-week placebo-controlled studies (mirabegron 50 mg placebo) and one 12-week non-inferiority phase IIIb study (BEYOND; mirabegron 50 mg solifenacin 5 mg) were used for efficacy (daily micturition frequency, urgency and incontinence episodes) and safety analyses. An additional 52-week active-controlled phase III safety study (mirabegron 50 mg tolterodine ER 4 mg) was included in the safety analysis. Male patients aged ⩾18 years with OAB for ⩾3 months were included in the analyses. Patients may also have a history of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) or concomitant use of α-blockers.
In the pooled studies, mirabegron 50 mg demonstrated superiority placebo (treatment difference: -0.37 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.74, -0.01]) for reducing micturition frequency; improvements in urgency and incontinence were not significantly different between mirabegron 50 mg and placebo. In BEYOND, mirabegron 50 mg was comparable with solifenacin 5 mg for reducing micturition frequency, urgency, and incontinence episodes. Mirabegron was well tolerated at 12 and 52 weeks and overall treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were similar to those with placebo.
In a male OAB population with or without LUTS associated with BPH/BPE, mirabegron 50 mg provided similar improvements in urgency, frequency, and incontinence as solifenacin 5 mg, and is a well-tolerated alternative to antimuscarinics. In the three pooled 12-week studies, significant differences were not seen for urgency and incontinence placebo, although mirabegron 50 mg did demonstrate significant improvements placebo for frequency.
尽管男性与女性膀胱过度活动症(OAB)储尿期症状的患病率相似,但用于治疗OAB的口服药物疗法在男性中的使用较少。在五项III期研究的男性OAB患者中评估了每日一次服用50mg米拉贝隆的疗效和安全性,这些研究以安慰剂或抗毒蕈碱药物(4mg缓释托特罗定或5mg索利那新)作为对照。
三项汇总的为期12周的安慰剂对照研究(50mg米拉贝隆对比安慰剂)和一项为期12周的非劣效性IIIb期研究(BEYOND;50mg米拉贝隆对比5mg索利那新)用于疗效(每日排尿频率、尿急和尿失禁发作次数)和安全性分析。安全性分析纳入了另一项为期52周的活性药物对照III期安全性研究(50mg米拉贝隆对比4mg缓释托特罗定)。分析纳入了年龄≥18岁、患有OAB≥3个月的男性患者。患者可能还伴有与良性前列腺增生(BPH)/良性前列腺肿大(BPE)相关的下尿路症状(LUTS)病史或正在同时使用α受体阻滞剂。
在汇总研究中,50mg米拉贝隆在降低排尿频率方面显示出优于安慰剂(治疗差异:-0.37[95%置信区间(CI):-0.74,-0.01]);50mg米拉贝隆与安慰剂在尿急和尿失禁改善方面无显著差异。在BEYOND研究中,50mg米拉贝隆在降低排尿频率、尿急和尿失禁发作次数方面与5mg索利那新相当。米拉贝隆在12周和52周时耐受性良好,总体治疗中出现的不良事件(AE)与安慰剂相似。
在有或没有与BPH/BPE相关的LUTS的男性OAB患者群体中,50mg米拉贝隆在尿急、频率和尿失禁方面的改善与5mg索利那新相似,是一种耐受性良好的抗毒蕈碱药物替代方案。在三项汇总的为期12周的研究中,50mg米拉贝隆与安慰剂在尿急和尿失禁方面未见显著差异,尽管50mg米拉贝隆在频率方面确实显示出优于安慰剂的显著改善。
